yet another N00b

Okay, I'm working diligently on this inventory program too, with so many other lost souls. This is where I'm at with part 5. The only things I have left is, I can't get the "first" and "last" buttons to show up and work as they should to jump to the first and last item in the array when clicked, and I can't get my icon to show near the buttons on the bottom.

All three files compile and get along nicely with each other.

I've been through several books and docs outside the course material to get this far and am soooooo close to being done. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the direction of the solution.

Okay, after a few hours sleep I got the buttons all sorted out and working correctly.

I would still appreciate a little help with getting an icon to display in the lower left corner beneath the buttons.
I'm becoming delirious from reading and searching and can't seem to make the compiler happy with anything I've tried. I had it working once before but can't remember how I did it.

Thanks for the response.
I'm using JCreator to code and compile.
I won't be deleting anything, as a matter of fact I just copied my files off onto a laptop because we just had a brief power loss that may have just shaved a few years off my life as my desktop shut down.
My buttons are working great, all I need is a jpg. to show up within the main window of the applet, hopefully in the lower left corner. Then, hopefully I'll awake from this nightmare I'm still having.

To answer your question, the project started out as an application and then had to be converted to an applet. Now, this week I have to add more action buttons with the ability to add, delete, modify to the array. A save button which executes saving present and new array contents as a local file is also a requirement.

Sorry about my slow response to your assistance, we had a two day power outage here due to the hurricane remnants passing through and wreaking havoc on the local utilities.
